The 1980s were full of colorful people. On the men's side you had David Lee Roth, David Bowie, Simon LeBon. On the women's side, there were females such as Cher, Madonna, and Debbie Harry. However, none of them could be as unique and instrumental to the 80s as Cyndi Lauper was.In 1983, Lauper had released her debut Album, 'She's So Unusual'. From this legendary album, many hits were spawned. The lead single 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun', solidified her as a mainstream legend. The 2nd single released 'Time After Time' also made sure to craft a different side of the songstress, as a feeling human being. However, the 3rd single would cause a ruckus, hilarious at best though.
In 1984, after all of the success of the 'She's So Unusual' album, Lauper decided to release 'She Bop'. Filled with innuendo and double meanings, the song would become a hit. It would also go to be listed on the 'Parents Filthy Fifteen' list of naughty songs, children should not be listening to. The reason why, was because Lauper seems to be eplicitly talking about the taboo subject of, dare I say... masturbation. The video, however, does more for the imagination.
So here it is, you Throwback for Thursday...
